  I am not new to the Cushion Foundation thing which has been popping out like mushrooms from  more and more brands recently. The first one that I tried was that from Laneige  and I loved it so much I was able to finish it in no time. But I think I still have the refill somewhere Hahaha!  Oh my, what to do.  So many foundations to finish up, so little time. And now I have here another cushion foundation to review for today: The Face Shop Oil Control Water Cushion (AED 120) I got this from the August box of Glambox and have been itching to try it since. But I still have a lot of foundations to try and finish up so I sort of kept this one on hold. Then one day I was in a hurry and had not much time to go thru all my entire skincare ritual, I decided to give this a try.  It promises  hydration, courtesy of the ingredient called Clean Tasmanian Water and the Italian Pure Mineral Water so I figured, maybe I can skip my moisturiser....

Sorry, I can't think of a better post title (as usual)!  After seeing these photos, I immediately said to myself, "Ang pa-sweet ko naman..."  And I think you would agree.

 Hiyee, how's the week treating you so far?  It's midweek already and I can't wait til it's the weekend.  I'm excited since I'll be having a trial makeup with a former officemate and good friend this Saturday and on Sunday, I'll  be having my hair colored and treated. Whoa, about time!   For today, I wanna share with you the look I came up with last Friday.  It's kinda "dark" as most of my colleagues commented. But I don't blame them, it's been a while since I last wore a dark, smokey look to work.  Yes, to work...on a rather sunny Friday.  (But it did rain in the early evening, hahaa)   K-Palette Long Lasting Eyebrow The Face Shop automatic eyebrow liner Revlon Photoready Eye Primer + Highlighter  INuovi eyeshadow in Galaxy, MAC eye shadows in Deep Truth and Contrast K-Palette eyeliner in Black Benefit They're Real Mascara The Face Shop falsies UD liner in Zero Yves Rocher Perfect Primer Estee Laude...

It's Monday once again! Weekend flies so fast, no?  In as much as we would want to lounge all day instead of getting our butts off to work, we grownups have responsibilities and not to mention, payables!  So yeah, get those asses moving and start the week right! I've been playing with colors a lot lately and this time, let's go back to an office-friendly look. But of course, your neutrals doesn't have to be boring.  Pair your earth-colored peepers with a dollpink lipstick for a polished, and yet fresh, feminine and sweet look.

I am sure this isn't the first time I posted a look like this one.  This is my go-to look on days I want an "awake" look despite the (almost) sleepless night before.  I try to focus more on the lips and/or cheeks but I still want to give my eyes a certain "pop."

Yellow is one of my favorite color.  Given a choice, I'll have my car repainted to Yellow!  But I am sure Mr. X won't let me.  Hmm, but if I'll have it done without him knowing...he won't have a choice anyway, right!? (laughs) Remember my Bumble Bee look months ago? I love that look and decided to re-create it.  But this time, a bit softer and suitable for daytime.  And yes, still using my Beauty Pro eyeshadow palettes!

Okay, my title's so lame.  But despite that, I know you still love me.  Right!? Please say Yes. ^_^ Anyway, here's a look I wore last Monday.  I wanted to start the week with bright colors, but you know how much I love purples. Some of the purples I have are dark and good thing I have a purple on the Beauty Pro Sweet & Smokey palette. I love that unlike my other purples, it comes off bright, giving my eyes a pop.  The Face Shop Auto Brow Liner K-palette Long Lasting Eyebrow MAC brow set in Girl Boy Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadows from BeautyPro Sweet and Smokey palette K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner in Black Maybelline The Falsies mascara Guerlain Radiance Concentrate with Pure Gold  MAC Matchmaster liquid foundation in 2.0 Shu Uemura Translucent loose powder MAC blush in Harmony Bobbi Brown blush in Peony Clinique Chubby Stick lipbalm in Whooping Watermelon MAC l/s in Please Me Funny how MAC Please...

After a recent neutral look, I'm slowly going back to colors again! But I still wanted it to be something simple and yet with a bit of color.  I know that shades of Peach don't suit me as much as Pink does, but I really wanted to make it work on my skin tone.  So here's my look, I hope you like it!

Since I am always running late, I've been wearing a lot of simple eye makeup lately.  When I say simple, I mean just a lid wash and a crease color.  It's getting kinda boring, so for this EOTD, I decided to give it some twist.

Extreme Brush Pen Eyeliner (01 Black Force) Easy to control fine point brush lets you draw an even, flawlessly clean line without tugging, skipping or scratching. Delivers the most intense color to define your eyes No more tears formula with glucose mimics natural tears to minimize irritation Smudge-free formula does not leave pigment residue after cleansing. Washes easily with tepid water what i love: super (duper) easy to use...the easiest liner pen I've used so far! liquid doesn't dry up easily in the pen. i've had other pen liners that dried up in a matter of weeks. this one doesn't! i've been using mine for almost a month and it still feels brand new. no tugging washes off easily what i love the most is how i can use its tip to correct any mistakes when i am using my other liners...or when i'm using a pencil liner and some of it sticks to my curler, i then use this to cover up those areas where my liner got removed what i hate: not waterproof. well, it ...

on days when i haven't had enough sleep the night before (which happens quite often), i try to stay away from dark eye makeup and just play with fresh and glowing shades of pink or peaches. to make the eyes pop and look more awake, lining the lashes with dark but still playful shades will help.
